Farm part 2

A Day on the Farm

Today William and I spent the day on a farm with the local mom's group. William was very brave and went on a horsey ride. As you can see from his expression he is not overly thrilled. Although it was fun to see the animals I think that William's highlight was playing in the huge sandbox with the Tonka tractors.

Nate and Erik's Birthday!

Today we celebrated Nate's 3rd birthday and Erik's 1st birthday. The theme for the party was Thomas the train (Nate and William's favorite toy). For lunch we enjoyed pigs in a blanket and for dessert Ari made wonderful chocolate cupcakes decorated with icing train tracks. Each cupcake had a picture of Thomas character driving across the top. William had great fun recognizing all of his favorite trains. It was a fun time but we all wished that Alana and Ethan could have been there to celebrate with us.  Happy Birthday buddies!

William talking to Ethan

This is a video of William watching a video of Ethan eating apples. I knew that he wouldn't talk directly to the camera so I caught him interacting with the computer. We miss you Ethan, can't believe what a big boy you are! (In the background William pipes up: "No he's not a big boy, I'M a big boy).

Babbling in the Backyard.

This post is for Chris who has been out of the country for 3 weeks and is sorely missing his son. It's a little hard to understand the dialogue so I'll translate a bit. William talks about his dad hooking something on and then turning on the switch? I try to ask him where his dad is and the usual answer is "with big ben" but today he wouldn't cooperate (sorry Chris).
